just a quick blog...for thought
If the light we see from the sun is 8 minutes old, that means the sun we see in our present time is not real?What else may not be real?
Maybe some fake news. lol
Anyway, happy Saturday night you all.

"That Death Itself"
"Is Not Real?"
"Might It Be.... Something Else Entirely?".............
your blog reminds me of what a friend in one of my stories, Ottmar, once said. He said he hopes to become an astronaut and travel to the Sun someday.
I warned him, "Ah, that's crazy! What about the extreme heat?"
He answered, "Oh, I got that figured out. The heat will be no problem, because I will go there during the night time."
It's all a matter of perception?
Happy New year Johnny!
The point is, sunlight isn't 8 minutes old if the sun is MUCH closer than 93 million miles!
See vids above
If they seem real, and work for me, that's good enough for me
I believe nothing is real and everything is an illusion.
It's all a matter of perception?dunno
I tried telling a similar story to my financial manager.
I can't repeat his reply to me, I'll be banned for life

That very well can be. What about life itself?
I really do not know personally, I can just go by what scientists claim. In this case, Fritjof Capra in his book The Tao of Physics claims that it takes 8 minutes for the light to travel from the sun to the earth; therefore, "we see the sun, at any moment, as it exist eight minutes ago."
I agree.
However, what happens if something goes on with the sun and it is no longer real or exist as we always knew it?
Would it be still be real during that 8 minute period?
I bring this up because it almost can be looked at like we are watching some sort of video footage that was constantly recorded 8 minutes ago.
I think it was Icarus that once planned on traveling to the sun as well. I wonder if he wasn't as smart as your friend Ottmar, traveling to it at night.
....but
for me.
just curious I suppose
I firmly believe we are as we are suppose to be....meaning, we are only meant to see what were are suppose to. Mostly likely, everything is probably as real as rain.
So, your car was probably a good buy.
I suspect, as light is traveling to us from the sun....as with the star light that travels to us being 1000's of years old....it allows us to see them.
Because the speed of light is not instantly seen, but takes time to travel, what we see that produces that light is not exactly the same as the present moment. ....because of the time it took for it to reach us.
For example, a star that we see in the night sky, in many cases, is 1000's of years old.
Now if that star exploded in a supernova and no longer exists...we will still see that star in the sky for 1000's of years later....even though it no longer exists.
BTW, was that you dancing in there? Also, I swore I seen Robert in the background there too.
But....interesting stuff though.
Don't you ever what is going on with the sun today instead of waiting 8 days for it?
I realize because light takes time to travel, everything that we see has actually happen in the past. However, the closer the distance, the time it takes to see something is much shorter and it seems like there has not been a delay.
Light is a wave.
Interesting about the other senses.
Like hearing thunder in a storm.
Hello Pepps.
Mic....see, even others think what is seen is not what it is to see.
Just because light beer is labeled light beer, it don't make it not beer, nor does it not make it a beer that is lighter than non-light beer, and it could just be the beer.
A little wisdom somebody once shared with me...your welcome.
That is the beauty of the internet. We can learn whatever we wish to learn. We don't necessarily need a piece of paper that we pay $100,000.00 for the make us believe we can only learn in one place only. Not to mention, many books available. :)
Now....don't take everything in this blog as the gospel, it is only as I am understanding. Maybe that is the importance of that $100,000.00 piece of paper, it makes sure you are understanding correctly.
BTW Robert, were you involved with some sort of funky video in the late 1970's? You were spotted in the background of Cach's video she shared. You should check that out.
if it looked like I had a sock stuffed in my pants, then maybe, but if not.. it wasn't me.
